Well, what we need is some dedicated non-profit company making chips.
This is excellent. Recognize when batteries make sense, and recognize when oil makes sense.
In this case, oil makes sense.
Yeah well, it ain’t stupid if it works.
The problem is that they’re not really made for this task, both in hardware and available software. They typically specialize in routing and switching, but have insufficient internal hardware (memory especially) to run a full-blown OS.
So whatever you install on these devices, will probably not give you all the features that you would like to have. (For example, a full linux command line with all the typical programs installed.) Also, it doesn’t allow you to use HDMI to connect to a monitor, so there’s that. But basic linux things can be done on it, if you figure out how to get to the command line. But it’s very limited.
I would say that both are interesting proposals to look at. Of course, doing the math and crafting the best approach is work and takes time, and I can’t give many details in a lemmy comment.
tbh if you’re worried about fiat currency, you shouldn’t be investing in crypto currency (which is even more volatile imo) but instead in real, physical assets (such as food and housing).
Then again, i believe that the big problems can only be solved by repairing the society as a whole. Investing in your own wealth, imo, isn’t worth it. But your choice is yours.
AI Training is a flexible energy consumer, meaning it can be switched on and off at will, so that it can take advantage of excess solar power during the daylight, providing extra income to solar panel parks. The important thing to do is to install solar panels, and then AI training isn’t an environmental problem anymore.

I thought so too, but it doesn’t even make sense, because the only one they’re hurting this way is themselves.
If they don’t adopt EVs, it will be to their disadvantage in the long run.
republicans are raping the planet.
This reminds me a bit of this photo:
We thought the data was forever, but somehow not so.
Highly unlikely they will do any of this, so you should not worry ublock got you covered.
Five years ago, a lot of people would have said the same thing about enshittification.
fire is hot, water is wet. More news at 10
Yeah, good to know. today I learned …
GIMP feels non-intuitive sometimes.
For example, layers.
I expect that GIMP internally has a list of all objects that I added to the file. Like, text, brush drawings, pasted images. Instead, I cannot find that list anywhere.
